This is what I made for Jane
her theme being Water.
I had this idea of a dessert island /
message in a bottle
& used some silk I'd painted a while back
which had exactly the right colours-
added some beading
& a little fish !
I was thinking,
" water water every where
but not a drop to drink "
from
The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.
For my theme of Angels,
Sue made this lovely card for me...
I love the transparent ethereal quality
the faint colours
& the fragility of it.
I then had to make a postcard for the theme
Concealment and Revelation
and Oh boy did I have trouble !
I tried -
Jack in the Box,
Magic acts
pearl in an oyster
& surprise party...
but settled on the idea of
hidden identity
inspired by the 1944 film
Gaslight
starring Ingrid Bergman & Charles Boyer.
Begmans's character Paula
is persuaded into marriage by Gregory
who is actually the murderer of her aunt -
( a famous opera singer )
Once married,
Gregory persuades Paula
to live in her Aunt's house...
so that he can search for her missing diamonds...
This is what I received from another Jane...
The Angel of the North
Fabulous !
I really love this take on my
Angels theme.
Thank you both for my wonderful postcards
